CSHR@Polito, S. Bianco coordinates the activity of the PV group. He is
involved in synthesis, characterization and customization of nanomaterials for
3rd generation photovoltaics and energy harvesting applications.
Research Experience:
July 2009 – November 2009

Curriculum Vitae
Bianco was collaborating with the company Solaronix (Aubonne, Lausanne,
Switzerland), for the development of selective membranes for mixed protonelectron transport based on Carbon Nanotubes-TiO2-Nafion nanocomposite.
The collaboration was within the European FP7 project “Solhydromics”.
January 2007 – June 2009
Since January 2007 S. Bianco worked as a Post-Doc at the Physics Dept. of
the Politecnico di Torino. His research activity was mainly devoted to growth
(through Chemical Vapour Deposition technique) and characterization of
carbon nanostructures for application in material science, electronics and
biosensing. Under the guidance of Prof. A. Tagliaferro, S. Bianco was
responsible for carbon nanotube growth, for studies of magnetic properties of
carbon-encapsulated metallic nanoparticles, and for the fabrication of
electrodes for electrochemical DNA detection. He developed innovative
techniques for patterning of carbon nanotube carpets and he deeply studied
the application of carbon nanotubes as fillers in composite materials.
Moreover, in collaboration with the group of Prof. E Tresso at the Politecnico
di Torino, he investigated the integration of carbon nanotubes on electrodes
rd
for 3 generation solar cells.
January 2004 – December 2006
S. Bianco was a Ph.D. student at the Physics Dept. of the Politecnico di
Torino, with a research activity based on the study of vibration properties of
microcantilevers. In collaboration with Varian Inc. (Leinì, Torino, Italy) he
developed a pressure sensor based on cantilever technology, with applications
in the field of vacuum science. Moreover, cantilevers have been studied as
microbalances for applications in the field of biological sensing. Related to
such topic, S. Bianco was the reference person for experimental
characterizations in the FIRB project "LATEMAR".
June 2003 - December 2003
S. Bianco was involved in a stage job at the research centre Telecom Italia
Lab (Torino), under the supervision of Dr. F. Genova. The research activity,
developed in collaboration with the University of Ferrara (Italy) under the
guidance of Prof. G. Martinelli, was devoted to the study and characterizations
of solid-state gas sensors based on semiconductor oxides for real-time
monitoring of environmental pollutant.
October 2002 - November 2002
During the M.Sc. thesis S. Bianco has performed (as a part of the NATO
project "Research of charge transport properties in SiC by nuclear microbeam
techniques", awarded in the year 2000, and of the experiment “GAMMA-NEU”,
2001) a series of experiments for characterization of SiC-based radiation
detectors at the Rudjer Boskovic Institute in Zagreb (Croatia), in a
collaboration with the group of Dr. M. Jakšic, and at the Joint Research Centre
in Ispra (Varese, Italy) in collaboration with Dr. Turkowskj. The devices have
been characterized from an electrical point of view and tested in Zagreb using
ionic microbeams for the evaluation of the charge collection efficiency with the
IBICC technique (with the estimation of the electron-hole pair generation
energy) and in terms of radiation hardness. Moreover, the neutron detection of
6
the SiC device with a LiF neutron converter has been tested at JRC.
S. Bianco supervised the subsequent thesis works:
